ISKCON of Houston Grand Opening Celebrations (including Festival of India)

ISKCON of Houston presents ISKCON of Houston Grand Opening Celebrations May 17 and 18.

The grand opening will feature a rare three-day appearance in Houston of the famous traveling "Festival of India" (FOI), which annually sets up in New York City, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, and Toronto.

FOI was a hit at the Houston International Festival in 2005 when it featured India. Under colorful tents you and your family will see illustrative art, sculpture, and photographic reproductions depicting aspects of ancient Indian culture such as bhakti yoga, vegetarianism, karma, reincarnation, ancient science, and Vedic histories.

The festival stage will also host internationally renowned traditional and contemporary musicians such as BB Govinda Swami, Mayapuris, United Nations Association International Choir, as well as Indian classical concerts, children’s performances, kirtan, dance and drama.
